cannot vs. can not

  • August 10, 2011, 9:27am

I strongly believe that cannot is different from can not. cannot is the negative form of can. I cannot swim. can not is a correlative conjuction- I can not only sing but also dance. I can not only teach mathematics but also econoics and English. I stand to be corrected. Thanks
